This concludes
Ācārya Umāsvāmī’s Tattvārthasūtra,

Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi,
the ultimate exposition of the Reality.
O Ascetics Supreme Ācārya Umāsvāmī and Ācārya Pūjyapāda!
You have expounded this Reality of substances

may acquire right faith (samyagdarśana),

anoints the most worshipful duo of your feet.
